John Boy Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Here come the gun grabbers!TODAY, the Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing on Senator DianneFeinstein's anti-gun bill...which would BAN millions of commonly ownedsemi-automatic firearms and BAN ammunition magazines that hold more than tenrounds. YOUR SENATORS NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU RIGHTNOW!!!Please call both of your Senators today at (202) 224-3121 and tell them toOPPOSE the Feinstein Gun Grab bill. Tell your Senators that President Barack Obama's own JusticeDepartment recently reported that any ban on semi-automatic firearms WILL NOTWORK...unless it includes mandatory gun buy backs, which is federal GUNCONFISCATION!Senator Feinstein herself told CBS's 60 Minutes that if she could getthe votes "for an outright ban, picking up every one of them -- Mr. andMrs. America turn 'em all in" she would do it!!!Please forward this email to everyone you know...tweet it...post it on Facebook...helpus spread the word as far as you can.And please, help NRA-ILA win this fight with a much-needed contribution byclicking here.This is the fight of the century and we need every gun-owning patriot to beinvolved.Thank you for your leadership!Chris ChrisW.

Ranger Red Dunn Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I was pleased with the response from Senator John Cornyn to my letter: Dear Dr. Kaler: Thank you for contacting me regarding federal firearms laws. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this matter. Asa strong proponent of the Second Amendment, I believe it is essentialto safeguard the law-abiding citizen's constitutional right to own anduse firearms designed for legitimate purposes such as hunting, targetshooting, collecting, and self-protection. Restricting this right runs counter to the intent of our FoundingFathers, who expressly guaranteed that citizens would retain the rightto keep and bear arms. Itis encouraging that the Supreme Court has upheld the will of ourFounders and re-affirmed the ideals our country was established upon. The Supreme Court's decision in District of Columbia v. Hellerprovides a greater guarantee that Americans' Constitutional rightsremain secure from federal government intrusion. I was proud to sign an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in that casestating an individual’s right to bear arms is fundamental. This historic ruling continues to have implications far beyond theDistrict of Columbia. In 2010, the Supreme Court decided in McDonald v. City of Chicagoto strike down the arbitrary gun ban in Chicago—and thereby affirm thatthe Second Amendment safeguards against state and local encroachmentson the fundamental right to keep and bear arms. Asa former Texas Supreme Court Justice and Attorney General, I havefirsthand knowledge of crime-fighting policies that work, and I believethat citizens' Second Amendment rights should not be restricted becauseof the actions of criminals. Rather, we must focus our attention on the source of violent crime:criminals who use firearms to commit crimes. I believe that strictly enforcing the law—and meting out toughersentences for career criminals and those who use firearms whencommitting crimes—will reduce crime more effectively than gun orequipment bans, which primarily serve to take firearms away fromlaw-abiding citizens. Iappreciate the opportunity to represent Texans in the United StatesSenate, and you may be certain that I will continue working with mycolleagues to protect our Second Amendment rights. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.

southparkslim Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 She claims these semi auto military style arms are "easly converted to fully automatic" Shows how well these fools know what they are talking about........................................................SPARK Link to comment
Longhorn Jack Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Somewhere in there she also stated that every law enforcement officer in the United States is against private citizens owning firearms. I guess she didn't talk to all the law enforcement personnel in my area or all the sheriffs in the state of Utah. Cause they are all back the second amendment. Link to comment
John E.

I guess she didn't talk to all the law enforcement personnel in my area or all the sheriffs in the state of Utah. Cause they are all back the second amendment. All of the Sheriff's in the state of Florida are opposed to any action against the 2nd. Here's a link to my post http://sassnet.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=201735 JEL Link to comment
Utah Bob #35998 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Somewhere in there she also stated that every law enforcement officer in the United States is against private citizens owning firearms. I guess she didn't talk to all the law enforcement personnel in my area or all the sheriffs in the state of Utah. Cause they are all back the second amendment. They trot out urban police chiefs who are appointed to their positions and owe their careers to politics. Sheriffs, who are accountable to their constituents who voted them, understand the views of citizens and are overwhelmingly against further gun control laws. You'll not see a Sheriff invited by the Dems to speak in behalf of their gun grabbing agenda. Link to comment
